The presidential library and museum uses a combination of rigorous scholarship
and high-tech showmanship to immerse visitors in the life and times of Abraham
Lincoln. Students can see ghosts come to life on stage, watch TV coverage of the
1860 Presidential election, roam through the Lincoln White House, experience
booming cannons in a Civil War battle and come face to face with priceless
original Lincoln artifacts.
